this was quoted from a contact at the factory in SC...

=====
"all X5's and X6's (gas and diesel models) are being held for EPA/ CARB approval. Vehicles may complete production but the Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) will not ship the vehicle to the Retail BMW Center until the CARB/EPA approvals are received and the holds placed on the vehicles are removed. The vehicles will sit in a storage area at the Manufacturing facility until they can be released to the carriers for shipment."
=====

i hope this clears up any confusion about production dates and deliveries. if anyone knows anyone at CARB or the EPA, get on them to get the approvals!!!

I'm sure your source has more knowledge of what's happening, but the BMW NA Cust Svc person I talked to said that EPA was pulling a random # from production to test, but that it wasn't holding up those vehicles that weren't pulled for testing...I guess we'll find out soon enough which it is...
